Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claimants have been struggling after the DWP delayed payments due to a 'processing issue'.
There are reports that a nationwide processing issue has caused delays to some PIP benefit payments. As a result some of those who rely on the payments took to social media to share their worry after the payment delays left them short.
Some said they had been left financially stretched by the payment delay, unable to cover basic living costs. Others said they had attempted to contact the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) but had been unable to get through to anyone, while others said they were cut off after waiting to talk to someone, reported Birmingham Live.
